    Gender please - Australorp rooster cross

    I was given these two chicks in a trade. They were supposed to have been two pullets, but now that their feathers have grown out more, I think they are both cockerels. The saddle feathers on both are pointy (right?). One of them has skinny pointy neck feathers, but the other’s neck feathers are...

    Blue-eyed American Buff geese?

    Is there such a thing as blue-eyed American Buff geese? I read recently that Buffs are suppose to have brown eyes. My two Buffs have blue eyes. Are they a mix of Buff and something else?

    My chickens ate some Four O’Clock flower seeds

    There is a wide swath of Four O’Clock flower plant in my yard. The seeds are ripening and falling on the ground. Some of my chickens were eating them this morning. I am reading that the entire plant, including the seeds are toxic to people and animals. They all seem to be fine at the moment, but...

    Guesses on gender please

    My geese are 4 1/2 months old. Two are American Buff and two are Brown Chinese geese. One of the Chinese has had wry neck since a few days after hatch but seems to be doing okay so far. Can you tell their gender from the pictures at this age? From their aggressive behavior, I think I may have...

    Saxony duck gender

    My two saxony ducks are about 6 weeks old. Can you tell their gender at this age and how? I am hoping for a mating pair. Their voices have not changed into distinct quacks or raspy sounds yet. Thank you.

    Mating or fighting injury?

    My white peahen has a very bloody neck today. Is this what happens during mating ? Or is she having a fight with the other peahen? She shares a pen with a white peacock and an Indian Blue peahen. They are all about a couple of weeks short of being 1 year old. I have never kept peafowl before...

    Seeking Saxony duck hatching eggs

    Does anyone know where I can get pure Saxony duck hatching eggs or ducklings in East Texas? I ordered some eggs online and not only is the shipping g charges high (for good reason), but on day 15 of incubation, it looks like only 3 are still viable out of the 13 eggs I received. The shipping...

    Gosling skin looks unhealthy

    The skin of my two American Buff goslings’ backs looks strange and unhealthy. I also have two Chinese goslings. One has wry neck so I keep it separate so that it can rest and get special care without being trampled on. The other Chinese is in the same brooder as the American Buffs and does have...

    Plymouth Blue Rock Rooster?

    I bought two of what I believed to be Plymouth Blue Rock pullets last April. They both turned out to be roosters. I have included a pictures of the rooster and identification card at the Tractor Supply store where I bought the chicks. I know that sometimes mistakes happen, so I am fine with...

    Magpie duck skin/feather problem

    One of my Magpie ducks seems to have a skin problem. He/she is about 8 weeks old and I noticed that the feathers under the wings had not come in like the other ducks. I looked closer today and the down is wet and matted to the skin. I will try to post pictures. Does anyone know what is going on...
